Going and going and going

It's day four. Whew! What a couple of days it has been. Sat we left the hotel at 7:45am and returned at 9:30pm. Yesterday we left the hotel at 9am and returned at 9:45pm.

And what a day it was yesterday. We started at the WW II memorial, walked to the Korean War memorial and then to the Vietnam War memorial. Then we boarded the buses and drove to the Air and Space Musuem for lunch (McDonald's - yum) and a couple of hours to see that museum and others in the area - our choice. At 3:30pm we walked to the Capitol where our guide gave us a historical perspective of the Capitol and nearby buildings. The group was quiet, but it was either attentiveness or sleepiness by then. Then off to the National Archives (on foot) where we waited an hour in line until admitted in to see the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. One lucky child was chosen to brush lemon juice on the back of the DofI to see the secret code. (Just kidding - seen "National Treasure"?)
